Majority of Nokia’s fan base still prefer QWERTY

Nokia recently ran a poll over at the Conversations by Nokia blog to determine what input method their readers favored. Users had the choice between QWERTY, Touchscreen, Number keypad, or Voice command...

My sons and I all have Dell Venue Pros and I have bought 3 more for the future. I love it and its' form factor. I am crossing my fingers that Nokia and Windows realize properly promoted a Dell Venue Pro like device could make the WindowsPhone experience different. ALL smartphones right now are the same.. and there is no real compelling reason for a customer to get a Windows phone over a Andriod or iOS.. if they are comfortable with those systems. BUT if they had a QWERTY slider with a touch screen.. THEN there would be a phone that is DIFFERENT.. I am so hoping they do that, or maybe HTC.. and make it available for ALL (or at minimum AT&T Tmobile and Verizon)

and instead of the good looking yet aweful s40 touch.. it still lacks some apps and features like multitalksing to be called smartphone! nokia is trying to push the asha line to defend against android.. but android is a smartphone OS but squized to low end and cheap market!

if they just consider of putting symbian on low end.. i think they can really go head to head with android in low end... symbian has at least a 100 000 apps on nokia store while s40 only have 25000 and its all java...

I agree with you :D Symbian was good even though it had few shortcomings.. :(
its a lot easier to type on phones with physical keyboard though!! at least for me i can type without looking on a phone with physical keyboard like a blackberry or the nokia E Series phones

no what he says is true! nokia is define by symbian... people think a lumia device is a different brand coz its not the same nokia people get use to and not familiar with flips (i wonder why microsoft didnt name it FLIP UI better than modern UI or worst WINDOWS 8 UI) and honestly i myself when i first look at lumia, think lumia is a new phone brand... since it doesnt look anything that i use to see on a nokia device!

even PhoneArenaUser isnt a nokia fan or pro symbian what he said is correct!

hate to admit but this it true!! symbian is what nokia is... maemo/meego never had a chance to show what they got with nokia.. not even market the n9 right.. even though a lot of tech sites and tech people fell in love with it..

I would suggest that Nokia should combine the QWERTY and touch screen together. At the same time user could experience the QWERTY and the touch on their mobile perhaps windows phone os could be installed in it.

How about "The majority of Nokia's fan base still prefer a proprietary OS" or "The majority of Nokia's fan base want Nokia to give meego a decent shot", or "The majority of Nokia’s fan base still prefer all the functionality of older Nokia phones". With any of these, and your, headlines. Its pointless. Aint gonna happen under current leadership. Facts, user opinions, sales, marketshare, share price, etc. Its windows phone all the way, regardless of the above.
